Fibrinogen levels

C5orf56 · rs2057655

Where this position leads

Condition: Fibrinogen and Blood Clotting

What the study found

Who was studied 120,246 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0203 lower; p = 2 × 10⁻⁷³.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.1 — in an intron of IRF1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2057655

What is rs2057655?

rs2057655 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C5orf56 gene. Published research associates it with fibrinogen levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2057655 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Fibrinogen and Blood Clotting. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2057655 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs2057655 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2015, PMID:26561523. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
